insomniatic session at full tilt:

[Jh] in the BB
3 other limpers including SB

[3s][6s] $8
check, i bet 8, call, fold, fold

here i wanted to try out something i thought of, betting out strongly on a 3 suited board since most people get really squeamish. i didn't have a read on this guy

[3s][6s][Kd]$24
i bet 20, call

i hit something, now to make him pay for his draw

[3s][6s][Kd][7d]$64
i check, he insta-all-ins 79 bucks

ok maybe he'll bluff if i check...
crap i get more than i bargain for, what to do?

I usually like to call induced bluffs... but not that one...i don't think he was cold calling twice with just a draw. i'd fold it and be sad

last week, I would have called...not any more....I know some of the following are unlikely but they all have you beat and the cumalitve sum of all the possibilities spells doom (obviously 2spades as well as the straights 45?..and then the famous K7 or Q7...)

i police bluffs way more than i should, this is probably one of those examples. i insta-called fully believing he had a busted draw, after it looked like he was trying to scare me away. he flips over the and a rag. this is the first big bluff ive caught in a while, i think its definitely negative equity to be policing like this, but i wanted to share a lucky moment

I don't know if your call was really that risky. I'm thinking that since has gone all in he doesn't want you to bet him. If he had really wanted you to call his raise he would have made it smaller. You made a good call.

I don't like the call on the end. A big bet like that can mean anything -- it could mean a bluff, it might mean the nuts and trying to induce a call -- and do you want to risk your entire stack (or at least the size of his stack) on something that can mean anything?
